More than 50 GTT customers around the world already are using the Pulse VPN offering, representing approximately 300,000 unique end users. In addition, GTT employees access the Pulse Secure VPN through gateways in New York and Frankfurt. Usage is expected to grow as GTT expands its global operations.

GTT and its Tier 1 IP network enable customers to connect to any location in the world and with any application in the cloud. “We chose Pulse Connect Secure because it was a clear market leader, providing an advanced solution for secure access with the most compelling features,” said Bob Burris, GTT senior vice president, global engineering and operations.

Leveraging Pulse Secure technology allows GTT to deliver its managed services to customers safely and securely so they can connect to corporate networks from any device seamlessly and remotely. The service provides the ability to implement granular control policies that create secure access points to the corporate network. In addition to customer access, GTT utilises Pulse Connect Secure by giving corporate employees a secure access solution that provides anytime and anywhere access to the global GTT network.

“Our unique relationship with Pulse Secure as both a partner and a client greatly benefits our organisation,” Burris said. “Not only does the in-house solution make it easier for our employees to sell managed services on a global level, it also allows our team to provide first hand experiences to clients regarding functionality and performance.”
